Well, well, well: Pastor Slavery brings the HEAT! It’s the heat all right. Straight from satan’s back pocket. The church mothers used to say your sin will find you out…with this kind of storytelling, this man needs to make it straight to the altar for a special laying hands prayer. 💪🏾🙏🏾

[a. rye @angela_rye]

I’m with you when you’re right, Vincent! We are the descendants of some amazing humans. They were enslaved people who fought too hard for our liberation.

We won’t let anyone take us backwards. NOBODY.

[Vincent Evans @VinceEvans]

There is no context where calling a Black man a “slave” or a “DEI hire” is anything other than racist. When racial tropes are used against one Black person, it diminishes all of us. We should call a thing a thing and not be silent about it.

Want to break the GOP supermajority in South Carolina? Start with HD 116.

Tonight, my brother and friend @claynmiddleton took the first step toward flipping the most competitive State House seat in the state. Let’s give him the resources to finish the job.

Please tell me who else came within 32k votes over the governorship (without all the ballots being counted)?

Y’all are really focused on the wrong thing. Figure out how to get Debbie running in her former district—not the Black one.

[Vincent Evans @VinceEvans]

Florida Democratic operatives, donors, and pundits should dead the conversation right now about who the party’s nominee was in 2018.

Frankly, it’s insulting to Black voters.

Black voters took great pride in nominating a Black candidate for governor that year. They participated in the process, weighed their options, and made their choice. That was their right.

To keep relitigating that election eight years later — saying it should have been someone else or that things would have been different if another candidate had won — is, at its core, questioning the judgment of the very voters who made that decision. It sends the message that their vote was only acceptable if it produced the outcome you wanted. How dare they deign to think for themselves?

It’s over. Let it go.

If we’re going to have any chance of winning this fall, the same voters some people keep insulting won’t just need to show up — they’ll need to overperform. Continuing to lecture them about a decision they made eight years ago is political malpractice.

Let me be clear: many of us have spent years working to take back the Governor’s Mansion. There is no path to victory in Florida that does not run through Black voters. None. Full stop.

So stop talking about 2018.

And not for nothing, the other side has nominated a Black man.

If you want to have a conversation about how we energize the base, expand the coalition, and win this fall, call me.

Otherwise, keep it on the playground.

P.s. I suspect David Jolly and Gwen Graham would agree with me—they want to win and so do I. 🖤

The Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision, which weakened the Voting Rights Act, could lead to the departures of as many as 19 Black Congress members over the next few years, according to the Congressional Black Caucus. https://t.co/seewO3vbGp

“Corporations that have profited from Black consumers, relied on Black workers, and amassed wealth in part from Black communities cannot look away while Black political power is dismantled in plain sight.” @RepYvetteClarke, CBC Chair

[Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) @TheBlackCaucus]

In the wake of the Callais decision, Black political representation is under direct assault. Across the South, lawmakers are rushing to redraw congressional maps to dilute Black voting strength and roll back decades of progress secured through the Voting Rights Act.

Corporations that have benefited from Black consumers, Black workers, and Black communities cannot remain silent while Black political power is dismantled in plain sight.

When democracy is under attack, there is no neutral ground.

You are on the wrong side of history. Your actions may result in an irreparable fracture for the Democratic Party. It’s the self preservation of it all for me. 🙄

[Debbie Wasserman Schultz @DWStweets]

Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Florida’s 20th congressional district.

I’ll continue to use my seniority in Washington to make Broward a safer, less expensive place to live, raise a family, and retire. We cannot let Trump and DeSantis take away Broward County’s power.
